WHY JAKE’S?
It’s hot. It’s sweet. It’s handcrafted. It’s ridiculously versatile. Jake’s Chilli Jam is the essential condiment for food lovers everywhere.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what our jam fans have to say.
Our mission is to spread Jake’s Chilli Jam from its humble beginnings in Bishop’s Stortford so that as many people as possible can discover the unique flavour and enjoy eating it as much as we do.
Jake
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
"What’s better than a Christmas card?"
It was the question that started everything. Back in 2015, when Jake was looking for a less wasteful, more personal alternative to sending Christmas cards, somehow chilli jam seemed to be the answer.
So Jake got to work in the family kitchen… and those first jars of Jake’s Chilli Jam went down a storm. A few more batches found their way into raffles, local charities and jammy friends’ hands. Then the requests started coming in.
"I think we’re onto something…"
Jake started spending a lot more time in the kitchen, fine-tuning the recipe and ramping up production. Requests became demands. Bishop’s Stortford went jam hot: we began delivering locally by bike and keeping up our links to local charities.
"We’re running out of jars!"
By 2023 we’d perfected the recipe for Jake’s Chilli Jam but outgrown the family kitchen. It was time to bring in outside help. So we hand-picked a production partner who could help us keep up with demand, without compromising our original values:
- Only the best ingredients
- Spread the goodness around
- Deliciousness in every dollop
